    Well someone make up their minds on who gets the point...
    No matter what anyone sez the rfx helps the 29ltd do 120 watts with 16 dead key..
    Seems that if its all bs as its somewhat suggested ,there are a few you tube vids that need debunking and atleast two people here sayin their radios were doin that kinda pwr..
    If its not possible then the cb techs have all gotton together for one huge rfx scandle...

    If I remember right, the stryker 955 is only doing 60watts while the other strykers rated @ 90+

    I've come to the conclusion that rather than trying to make a radio do far more watts than stock and possibly compromise quality in the process with dirty watts or falling victim to so called mods that don't work, it's better to leave the radio stock and drive a kicker with it or get an amplified radio. The RFX75 on the 29s we had are going to put out far more than anything we could do to a general lee or 955. Just my opinion but it you have to admit it makes sense.

    yep the rfx does help with power out, so does putting 16 volts to the radio and so does hooking it up to a broadcast amplifier to produce 15kw.

    Dude, in my 35 or so years of messing around with CBs and radio equipment, I have heard and seen a lot of things claimed, one thing has been getting oodles of power out of a device that can only deliver so much, that's why I say - prove it.

    But no disrespect to GL there, I don't care what he gets because as long as he's happy with what he has, its ok because all of these radios have not changed in those 35 years and form a design standpoint, they are not the best they could be.

    Volting the finals is not even close to what the RFX75 does for a 29. At no time did I ever get a bad report of how that radio sounded either. I'm not going to do something that causes my radio to sound like ####. That goes for my current radio as well. And if you're trying to say the general lee is not a great sounding radio, you obviously have no clue. You have a nice day now.

    Volting?

    Seriously I said that about power not about the radio producing the same amount of power - the rfx does help with power out, so does putting 16 volts to the radio and so does hooking it up to a broadcast amplifier to produce 15kw.

    OK the way the radio sounds doesn't matter much if it is setup right, the cheapest radio can be made to sound like an broadcast radio as much as the more expensive ones.

    It helps the 29 and 25s tremendously. The 29 puts out way over 100 watts with it. Good clean audio too. Go figure huh? And yes, my general will put out hundreds of watts of good clean audio with an amp if the radio is set up properly which mine is. So what's your point again? Jealousy maybe because you can't get yours putting out that kind of power cleanly? Maybe I can point you in the right direction son.
